Not a stupid question, but if I post on c/asklemmy my post disappears.
Turn it on, motor runs for a minute until there’s water under pressure. Works fine until I let off the trigger, then the motor won’t start again for 3 days. Seriously, tried this a few times, takes 3 days until it will start again. Runs fine until I let off the trigger.
It’s like a sensor is saying, “We got water and pressure, cut the motor off.” To reset I think I have to take the hose off, not simply turn the water off. And wait 3 days. :(
All the troubleshooting I’m seeing revolves around power issues. Pulled to top off and yes, it’s getting voltage all the way to the motor wires. Doesn’t matter if I leave it plugged in or not. For sure not a power switch issue, tested with a multimeter.
If it helps, here is the model
EDIT: Found a YouTube short with comments saying replacing or cleaning the tip fixed it? Can’t try it tonight as I have to finish cleaning my carpet tomorrow and if it cuts off again it’ll be Tuesday until I can try again.


That’s tomorrow’s test!
